TenneT has completed its seven-project 700MW offshore grid connection programme with the Hollandse Kust (west Beta) link, finalised five months ahead of schedule and certified grid-ready by DNV.
The milestone concludes a series of standardised connections delivering 6.1GW of capacity to the Dutch grid since 2019, with one connection completed each year.

“In just under ten years, with the rollout of the 700MW programme, we have demonstrated, together with our partners and the market, that we can move mountains,” said Marco Kuijpers, director of offshore at TenneT.
The grid operator is now progressing its 2GW direct-current programme to support the Netherlands’ goal of reaching 21GW of offshore wind capacity by 2032.
